|
| rdfs:comment | - Friends of the Earth is calling for a comprehensive study of tidal lagoons and a smaller barrage on the Severn (Shoots barrage). The environmental charity rejects the Commission's recommendation that a feasibility study should be focused on the Severn Barrage. The group expressed disappointment that the Commission proposes a scheme that would be publicly funded. Due to its high generating cost of 9.2p per kilowatt hour the Barrage would be nearly three times the cost of large tidal lagoons.

The environmental charity rejects the Commission's recommendation that a feasibility study should be focused on the Severn Barrage. The group expressed disappointment that the Commission proposes a scheme that would be publicly funded. Due to its high generating cost of 9.2p per kilowatt hour the Barrage would be nearly three times the cost of large tidal lagoons. The Severn Barrage would generate just 4.3 per cent of the UK's electricity demand which is just 0.85 per cent percent of the UK's overall energy consumption.
